Abstract
A data back-up system configured to back-up one or more data sets from one or more devices to a data back-up server by using a proxy pool is presented. The data back-up system includes a load-balancer configured to distribute the one or more data sets across the proxy pool. The load balancer includes a data receiver configured to receive types of files, number of files, and total size of each file in the one or more data sets; a load estimator configured to estimate a weighted average load of each data set based on the number of files, the total size of each file, a compressibility factor for each file type, and an encryption factor for each file type; and a load distributor configured to distribute the one or more data sets as a plurality of workloads across the proxy pool.
